U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Representatives at Disaster Recovery Center
Mono County homeowners, renters or business owners who suffered physical damage or economic impact as a result of severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides and mudslides that began on February 21, 2023, may be eligible for individual assistance.
On May 2, 2023, Mono County was declared a Primary County, and as such resources are available from the Small Business Administration.
Beginning Tuesday May 16, 2023, the Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) located at the Mono County Civic Center will be open from 9:00am until 6:00pm every day except Sunday, until community needs are met.
It is very important for applicants to initiate an SBA application to ensure recovery options by the June 2, 2023, deadline. SBA representatives at the DRC can provide one-on-one assistance to disaster loan applicants.
Businesses of all sizes and private nonprofit organizations may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. SBA can also lend additional funds to businesses and homeowners to help with the cost of improvements to protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage from occurring in the future.
Disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property, which includes their disaster damaged personal vehicles.
There is no cost or obligation, and eligibility is based on a case-by-case review for each applicant.
If you cannot attend in person, additional information about these programs is available by calling the SBA Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955.
